Word Lanes Level 5172 Answers
7 clues solved and verified
This page gives the complete, verified answers for Word Lanes Level 5172, part of the Levels 5101-5200 block. Level 5172 contains 7 clues, each one solved and then typed back into the live Fanatee Inc app so that every answer on this page matches the word the game actually accepts. These are advanced levels, leaning on cultural references, lateral thinking, and longer answers. Below you will find each clue paired with its exact answer in a clean two-column table, followed by a word-by-word breakdown that explains why each solution fits its lane, how long it is, and which letters it hands to the crossing clues. If a lane is fighting you, start with the longest answer in the level: it releases the most crossing letters and usually collapses the rest of the stack. Because Word Lanes randomises level order per player after Level 12, the number printed on your screen may not be the number here - if the clues below are not the ones you are looking at, use the Clue Search Tool and type any word from your clue instead of hunting by number.

Word-by-Word Breakdown
POSITIVELY 10 letters - the adverb ending narrows the options - "Absolutely yes" leads to POSITIVELY. It ties with PLAYGROUND for the longest lane in Level 5172 at 10 letters, so either one opens up the most crossings.
SAUCE 5 letters - the clue "Another word for gravy" describes SAUCE directly. It is the shortest lane here; leave it until the crossings make it obvious.
BRASILIA 8 letters - "Brazil's capital (not Rio de Janeiro)" leads to BRASILIA by definition. It begins with B and ends with A; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
LAMBADA 7 letters - reading "Brazilian dance, aka Forbidden Dance" literally points to LAMBADA. GLUEGUN in this level is the same length, so check the crossing letters before you commit.
GLUEGUN 7 letters - "Device for discharging hot adhesive" is a straight definition, and GLUEGUN is the word that matches. It begins with G and ends with N; use any crossing letters you already have to confirm it.
PLAYGROUND 10 letters - Word Lanes strips the space, so PLAYGROUND goes into the lane as one unbroken run of 10 letters. No visible gap in the lane, so count the full 10 boxes before guessing.
SMELLARAT 9 letters - "Suspect that things are a bit fishy" leads to SMELLARAT by definition. The doubled L is a giveaway once one crossing lands on it.
